There are not many blogs out there dedicated to cooking on a pellet smoker. I have been cooking, grilling & smoking over 35 yrs now. I recently bought a Traeger Lil Tex Elite pellet smoker & have cooked on it over six yrs. now. I would like to share recipes & info I have gained from cooking on it.
Update 2014: I have plenty of recipes here for the pellet smoker so I am now including other outdoor cooking and some of my indoor cooking too.

Made Some Kimchi

Aug 06 2016

Two days ago while at the grocery saw two nice heads of Napa
cabbage. I got them to make a batch of kimchi. I rinsed them and cut up; in a
large plastic container and layered with coarse kosher salt. It sat covered for
2 hours then rinsed well to get all the salt off. It has wilted down enough to use a smaller
bowl.

I added half to a smaller bowl I save for making kimchi.
Then added half the other ingredients and repeated with the other half. This
makes it easier to get mixed up and the cabbage all coated well.

It sat covered on the counter for 2 days. You need a
container that seals well because this stuff does smell. To a kimchi lover it
is a good smell!

Today it went into quart mason jars; topped with filtered
water to cover. I usually place it in the fridge but I am letting this batch
set out another day then it will go into the fridge. I like to let it set in
the fridge for 4 to 5 days before I start using it.

I like it just as a side dish but it’s also great on pulled
pork, brats and hot dogs. I have not cooked with it much but a lot of people do
using in soups and stews.

About Me

I started cooking when our children were in highschool & my wife worked.I was layed off during the summer & just kinda took over the kitchen & my wife does most all the cleanup. We are both retired now. I am a recipe hound, love to try new things. I suppose my cooking methods have evolved from Mid West Ohio, Southern, Soul, Cajun, Creole, & German, all of which I love.
